Bishop Eddie Long’s Wife Vanessa Speaks Out

It was emotional. It was heartfelt. It was a long time coming. Vanessa Long, wife of embattled preacher Bishop Eddie Long, stood before the congregation at New Birth Missionary Baptist and shared an emotional moment with the congregation. During her speech, Long recounts how difficult it was to stand by her husband as he endured child molestation allegations from several young boys. Long would later file for divorce, but a judge dismissed the case earlier this year.
